SALOMON MOYER, OF SHIMERSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.

MACHINE FOR BENDING FELLIES.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 27,560, dated March 20, 1860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SALOMON Momn, ot Shimersville, Lehigh county, and State ot Pennsylvania, have invented new and usetul Improvements in Machines tor Bending F ellies; and I do hereby declare that the tollowing is a tull and exact description there ot, reterence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to `the characters ot reterence marked thereon, in which- Figure l, is a perspective view and F Q is a transverse section ot the sliding mold rest through the line A.

B represents the tramework and table which is furnished with a corresponding track and guide C in the center in a transverse position, upon which the slide mold rest D slides and is kept in its proper place b v means ot a screw passingup through the slit, Y, into the rest D.

E is a screw tor operating the rest during the bending process and revolves in bearings at G and a bearing under the rest not shown in the drawings and is tarnished on the outer end with a tight and loose pulleys l?, F, to which power is applied by means ot a belt or other substantial device.

T, 7, Fig. 2, are halt nuts through which the screw E passes and are clamped into the screw when the rest D is to be drawn torward, by means ot the lever, V, cranks l, l, and clamp 3.

O is a tightening clamp which slides within the slide rest D tor clamping the telly, mf, spring clamp 6 and mold H securely tight to the rest D and is operated by means ot the thumb screw Q. The spring clamp 6, is turnished on the inside with a zinc lining to present the tellies trom turning black, and is bent inward at the ends torming clamps and is turnished with mortises in which the clamp hooks Lt, t and wedges 5, slide and are kept in proper place by means ot small pins through the outer ends.

8, S, are movable clamp hooks which hold the spring clamp 6, telly m, and mold H securely together while being removed trom the machine.

J, J are vertical rollers which have bearings in the sliding trames K, K, which slide in mortises in the table and trame B. The trames K, K, are operated by means ot the right and lett screws L, L, which have bean ings in the framework B and are turnished on their outer ends with gear wheels M, M, which mesh into the pinions ll, N, on the crank shatt X, which also has bearings and journal boxes secured to trame B.

P is a hand crank by which means the rollers are operated to and trom each other.

The stick ot wood to be bent tor a telly is laid into the spring clamp 6 and the wedges 5, 5, are driven up tight, whereon it is placed on the slide rest D between the mold H and clamp O, which is drawn up tight by the thumb screw 2. The nuts 7, 7, are clamped onto the revolving screw E by means ot the lever V` and cranks l, l, when the rest D is drawn forward by the revolving screw E to the desired distance whereon the belt is shitted on the loose pulley and the slide rest brought to a stand and by turning the crank P the rollers J J, press the spring clamp (i and telly, in, tight up to the mold H. The movable clamp hooks 8, S, are then put on. The crank P is now turned in opposite direction which withdraws the rollers J, J, and the lever, V, is released' trom clamp 3 by which means the halt nuts 7, 7, are released trom the screw E, whereon the slide rest D is drawn back by the operator and the tightening clamp O, is released by means ot the thumb screw 2 whereon the mold with the telly and the spring clamp is removed trom the machine.

-that I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- The sliding mold rest D, when operated as described in combination with the tightening clamp O, thumb screw 2, and lever V, in connection with the cranks l, l, tor operating the halt nuts 7, 7, when constructed as and used tor the purpose set torth.
